"Can you imagine? There are actually French people in this team!" Rommel continued to complain: "They are simply crazy. They asked the French to help us resist the Allied attack. What should we say to them? For you In order to prevent your country from being invaded by the enemy, take up your gun and fight... God, the French have always regarded us as invaders and the Allies as liberators!"

Seeing Qin Chuan's strange expression, Rommel asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"Marshal Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan said: "Is this French regiment transferred from Algeria the French battalion originally formed there?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" Rommel asked in confusion.

Colonel Slain explained: "Marshal, this French battalion was established and trained by the lieutenant colonel!"

"What? Is this true?" Rommel asked.

"Yes!" Qinchuan replied: "We also led them to build tunnel fortifications on the Gabes defense line, and in Sicily, we used their French identities several times to disguise themselves as Allied troops to sneak in and attack... You know, there are French troops in the Allies too!"

"Interesting!" Rommel couldn't help laughing: "Sorry, Lieutenant Colonel, I didn't know this!"

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty Marshal!" Qin Chuan said: "In fact... you may be right. They are French, and there is a high possibility that such a problem will exist!"

This is related to the interests of the country, so it cannot be determined by personal feelings or training.

After thinking about it, Rommel said: "Maybe... we should inspect the front line and discuss the next plan!"

There is no problem in inspecting the front line, because this is Rommel's style of leading troops.

As mentioned before, Rommel was the kind of commander who went to the front line and stayed with the soldiers. He always believed that this could fully tap the potential of the soldiers and enable them to explode into combat effectiveness that would surprise everyone (including the enemy). .

That's what he did in Africa, and the Atlantic Wall was no exception.

However, during this period, Rommel deployed more second-line and further rear defenses. These defenses were only dozens of kilometers away from Paris and could be traveled back and forth in one day.

But official business along the coast... is 365 kilometers away from Paris, which takes a whole day or even longer because the road may be blown up.

Rommel and everyone climbed into a French civilian car... This kind of car is somewhat similar to a bus, with the top and sides painted in eye-catching red. It is usually used to carry passengers between cities in France.

This was clever because Allied pilots would see the car from afar but would not attack it because they would think the people sitting on it were French civilians.

This left Qin Chuan and Colonel Slain dumbfounded... If they had known they would have done this when they came here from Germany, they wouldn't have had to travel day and night to get to Paris.

"Did you see that?" After the car drove for more than two hours, Rommel raised his head out of the car window: "Those are what I prepared for the Allied airborne troops!"

Looking out the window, there are sharpened wooden stakes standing upwards. There are also barbed wire fences with barbed wires stretched between the wooden stakes. There are some black spots on the wire fence... Qin Chuan raised the telescope and looked at it, and found that That's a landmine.

One can imagine what would happen if the airborne troops parachuted in this area at night.

"The lake next to it!" Rommel said: "It was originally a flat land, and I brought the sea water in. Of course, it was also prepared for their airborne troops!"

"I can't wait to see them struggling in the lake!" Colonel Sline said.

"Your Majesty Marshal!" Qin Chuan said, "If it were me, I wouldn't do this!"

"Why?" Rommel asked.

"Because of the British intelligence network!" Qin Chuan said: "With the help of the French, it is not difficult for them to get these lakes and the map of the layout, and then the Allied airborne troops will carefully avoid these devices!"

"They can't avoid them all, can they?" Rommel said: "Because there is no precise landing point for airborne landings!"

Rommel was right, especially when airborne at night, it is common for the aircraft to be blown several kilometers away from the target by the wind.

"I agree, Marshal!" Qinchuan replied: "But in general, they will try their best to avoid this kind of loss. But if we make preparations first, I mean stationing a dam or something else to make the surface of this area It seems that they can be airborne, so they are defenseless, but when they launch an attack, we will..."

Needless to say what follows.

Rommel couldn't help but said "Oh", and then agreed: "Good idea, Lieutenant Colonel, we really should do this!"

With that said, Rommel immediately ordered the staff: "Notify the engineering troops immediately and do as the lieutenant colonel said!"

"Yes!" The staff officer immediately asked the communications troops to set up a radio and issue the order.

This was Rommel's style of conduct, always keeping in touch with the troops and issuing orders at any time.

Of course, the troops will always feel his presence.

Cars have been driving on the road, and there are workers everywhere on the road being escorted by German soldiers to repair the road... Of course, the road has also been bombed into potholes and it is difficult to move forward. Sometimes you have to take a detour or even wait, because in the middle of the road The big hole created by the blast will not be repaired for a while.

What makes people feel a little terrified is that from time to time, several Allied bombers or fighters pass through the sky... From the whistling sound of the plane, it is impossible to tell what type of plane it is, and only a little shadow of the plane can be seen through the car window.

This makes Qin Chuan and Colonel Slaine have the urge to jump out of the car and lie on the ground again and again... This is common sense on the battlefield. Being in the car will increase your target. The best choice is to leave this target-like thing.

But Rommel said calmly: "As long as you don't stick your head out of the window or get out of the car, they won't know that the people sitting inside are Germans!"

"And there is a marshal among them!" Qin Chuan said: "I think those pilots will regret that they missed this!"

The officers and soldiers laughed out loud.

Rommel shook his head and said: "No, Lieutenant Colonel! I think what they should regret more is... not knowing that the 'legendary sergeant' is sitting inside!"

Laughter broke out again in the car.

Although Rommel's trick is indeed very useful, the car has not been attacked when it arrives at the destination. It only needs to be careful to stay away from military vehicles carrying supplies and soldiers.

But this is almost telling Qin Chuan...the French sky already belongs to the Allies.
